2010年城市的眼睛遴选

2011年2月19日，城市的眼睛进行遴选。出席的五位遴选成员包括了摄影记者、平面设计师、退休商人、社区工作者及社会工作者。此外，城市的眼睛成员及义工也出席了遴选。

遴选除了以分数计算外，遴选成员和眼睛成员及义工也通过讨论和分享的方式进行。城市的眼睛活动的主要目的，不只是通过照片纪录，来加强大家对于社会的关爱，人和人之间的关系、沟通、了解，也是活动重要的构成。城市的眼睛不是为了宣扬某一个文化、思想、价值观，或者是肯定或否定它们；我们强调的是社会的多元性和包容性。遴选出来的照片是代表当年参与者的共同回忆，没有被选的照片也不表示他们是不重要的，或者是没有纪念价值；而只是在活动在展览和出版数量和内容上的限制。我们相信所有的照片对于参与者都有他个人的价值，每个人因为个自的生活背景和经历，对于同样的照片也有可能也不一样的体会，而这照片带给人们的记忆或回忆不能够用数字或者金钱来衡量其价值。城市的眼睛是从这样的角度和态度来主办和策划这个活动的，所以虽然我们以分数计算的方式进行遴选，我们还是花了相当的时间进行讨论与分享。我们也希望大家是以这样多元以及包容的角度来参与活动和观赏这些照片。

去年5月24日新马两国已同意在2011年7月1日前，将坐落丹戎巴葛的火车终站迁移至兀兰。

这个话题引起很多参与者的兴趣，参与者也呈交了很多相关的照片。由于这系列有很多优秀的照片，有些题材角度有重叠，我们很难割爱，我们当场决定把这系列照片以专题的方式呈现，把不同参与者的照片交替排列，尝试组织成一个较为完整的系列。但是这工作涉及到不同的参与者的意愿及排版编辑的问题，我们会在较后时间拍板定案。

遴选大概挑选了大约60张单张照片、照片故事系列大约10组、挑战系列数组，详情在城市的眼睛成员讨论和与和火车终站迁移系列照片定案之后，将会电邮通知照片被选的参与者。

祝大家平安喜乐。

2010 eyes é city selection

2010 eyes é city selection was held on February 19, 2011. The five members in the election panel include photographic journalist, graphic designers, retired businessman, community workers and social workers. In addition, volunteers and members of eyes é city also attended the session.

Besides using computation of scores, the selection panel together with the volunteers and members of eyes é city also discuss and share their views and feelings for the submitted photographs. The main purpose of eyes é city not only to raise awareness and concern for the society at large through record using photographs, it also hopes to encourage communication and understanding and foster the relationship between people of the community. eye é city does not focus and advocate certain cultures, ideas, values, or to comment on the positive or negative of these cultures, ideas, values. We emphasize both diversity and inclusion of the society. The selected photos from the participants represented the common memories of the year. However, we do not think that those unselected photos are unimportant or are not memorable. These happen because of the limitation of resource in the exhibition and publication. We believe that all of the photos of the participants have his own values and different people see the photos differently because of their own background and life experience. We should not use monetary term to measure or quantified the value of these memories of people reflected by the photos. Bearing these in minds, although we still score each photos with marks, we spent a considerable time for discussion and sharing. We also hope that public and participants could view these photos and participate in our activities with these perspective.

May 24 last year, Singapore and Malaysia have agreed to relocate Tanjong Pagar train station to Woodlands in July 1, 2011.

The topic catches the interest of participants and submitted a number of related photos. There are many excellent photos in which some overlap in angle and content. We decided to arrange all these photos of different participants into a series and to organize them into a more complete layout. We will seek opinion and permissions from the participants and plan for the layout and editing. We will finalize the outcome at a later date.

We have selected about 60 single photos, about 10 photo essays and a couple sets of photo challenge. We will finalise the details after meeting and confirmation of the relocation of train station series and e-mail to the participants whom photos have been selected.

Till then, take care and be happy.
